Improved Software Update Handling

What's New

A button entity has been added which allows you to force check the remote for a new update (The remote will ping the update server)

What's Changed

This update attempts to improve firmware updates from within home assistant by:

• Pre-downloading the firmware update file to the remote
• If the update file has not been downloaded when an install is initiated, the update progress bar no longer hangs. It instead uses the first 10% to communicate download progress. Once the firmware begins installing, the remaining progress updates will be the firmware itself.

Full Changelog: v.0.7.0...v0.8.0
